Tier 3 is upon London, and with restaurants and bars closed, we think it’s time to find a hobby that don’t involve snacking or Netflix… We’ve found six brilliant kits that you can have delivered to get your creative juices flowing. From pottery to knitting, these fun activities will keep you entertained while you’re at home. Not only do they also make great gifts, but you can get your friends to order the same kits and have a Zoom activity session.
